Bobby Petrino
Bobby Petrino will be announced as the head coach at Western Kentucky University, according to multiple sources. I would link it to the Louisville Courier-Journal article, but I am out of free articles this month.

Re: Bobby Petrino
I really believe if he had taken the year off, he would have had some real interest next season. Now he will have to win at WKU and hope for offers. Shows what a little dishonesty can do to ruin a man's career.

Re: Bobby Petrino
I'm not sure being head football coach at WKU constitutes a "ruined" career. And you're in Louisville, so you know damn well Petrino's going to win at WKU unless he suffered a brain injury in the motorcycle crash.

Re: Bobby Petrino
LOL.....yeah "ruined" is kind of harsh. Maybe "disgraced" is more like it. Guys that have been successful always land back on their feet somewhere. Ask Larry Eustachy, Steve Fischer, Rick Neuheisel, etc......
Interesting on the conspiracy theory at Arkansas, I hadn't heard that before, but it is plausible. Oh yea, here is a brief article from ESPN............ http://espn.go.com/college-football/...rs-source-says

Re: Bobby Petrino
A small school with no expectations, not a bad hire on WKY's part, any coach worth anything will leave town anyway, may as well get one with something to prove.
Better hire for them then some bigger schools.

Re: Bobby Petrino
I just saw where his buyout is higher than his anuual salary ($1.2 million vs $850k), so if he leaves after 1 season the school makes money. Brilliant move for WKU.

Re: Bobby Petrino
An interesting article on some coaches who have "fallen from grace."

Re: Bobby Petrino
Yep. And after a year or two of image laundering, some big school will hire him and pick up the tab for the buyout without blinking. Win-win.

Re: Bobby Petrino
I heard a tape of Petrino's press conference last night. He didn't sound too excited. I'll be shocked if he's there more than a season or two.
